You first need to find the length of the digonal path.
\n" ); document.write( "The length of the diagonal path can be found by use of the Pythagorean theorem: $\"c%5E2+=+a%5E2%2Bb%5E2\"$ where c represents the diagonal path.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c%5E2+=+18%5E2%2B24%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c%5E2+=+324%2B576%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c%5E2+=+900\"$ Take the square of both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c+=+30\"$ meters.
\n" ); document.write( "Now multiply 30 meters by $12 per linear meter.
\n" ); document.write( "The cost is $360.00 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
